Frustrated with the drawing lessons he was taking in 1998 John Hastings began simplifying the process of learning to draw. He was motivated by his belief that there was a missing link in the usual approach. Influenced by the writings of positive reinforcement trainer Karen Pryor, he became fascinated with the possibilities for breaking drawing skills into small, achievable steps. In The Drawing Breakthrough Book, he combines years of research and experimentation with his passion for drawing to create a unique system for learning how to draw.

Mr. Hastings has earned a bachelor's degree in liberal arts, an associate degree in electronics, and a certificate in technical communications. He has also been a tennis and guitar instructor, as well as a ballroom dance teacher's assistant.
